Do you do a Sunday Dinner.....
18 Answers
....... Every week, as a kind of tradition?
Growing up we rarely did as it was hard to get everyone together at the same time on a Sunday, what with our various pursuits and commitments.
But now I kind of regret that we didnt, I know families that religiously get together on a Sunday for a Sunday lunch and I think its great. They will eat, drink and discuss the week that they have had and thinngs coming up in a safe, happy, friendly environment. I want to make the effort to do this with my family but we are all so busy these days!

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I used to do a roast on Sunday and then a tea of sandwiches and cakes in the evening, till one day I realized I was the only one who worked all day instead of taking it easy for one day a week, so I got in loads of 'do it yourself' type food such as cold meat, cheese and salad, crusty bread and things in jars, and have refused to cook on Sundays ever since, but we did all sit down together every other day of the week.
No we alway had a family day on Sundays with the kids, swimming, bike rides, park, beach. Then off the MIL for a visit, so Sunday dinner was a quick dinner. We always eat round the table anyway, now they are all adults and working or moved out they come through the week for tea, ranging from 2 to 12 for tea. Doesn't matter what day you do it, its nice to just sit round a table and eat with the family.
when I worked alternate sundays,parents did dinner the week I worked & I did the other,when stop working w/e's,I seem to end up doing most sundays,sister never had parents over to hers or rarely,which ment someone had to drive them once dad no longer drove,dad in care home now & mom goes theere for midday meals everyday,so more casual now
when i'm not working, yes - it's a full roast with all the trimmmings and a lovely pud. the afternoon is then spent digesting and falling asleep in front of a film on the tv. today we are having toad in the hole as my back is still bduggered and nobody else has gone out to get meat of any kind. both men are moaning...and i've told them it's their own fault! (not to mention the boy works in sainsburys!!!). i will make (well, delegate) a rice pud for dessert, as mr kicker cannot do a decent one if his life depended on it x
Not any more. Like Robinia I was brought up to always have a Sunday Lunch, usually a roast, but sometimes a steak and kidney pie. I followed the tradition for quite a while, although it became a Sunday Dinner in the evening. Nowadays Sunday is no different from any other day. We do have roasts, probably about once a week, but the day varies. If I were on my own I wouldn't bother.
